How to pay for a VPN with Monero

A VPN account paid by card is linked to your name. Paying with Monero, on a VPN that needs no email, means even the VPN company does not know who you are.

How to pay

Sign up without personal details
Pick a VPN that gives you an account number or token instead of asking for an email. If it does ask, use an alias address.
Choose Monero at checkout
The VPN shows a Monero address and the exact amount, sometimes as a QR code.
Send from your own wallet
Pay from your own Monero wallet, not from an exchange. Send the exact amount shown.
Wait for the confirmation
Activation takes from a few minutes to about half an hour, depending on how many confirmations the VPN waits for.
Write down your account number
With no email on file, the account number or token is your only way in. Store it in a password manager.

Good habits

Do not log in to the VPN website from your real IP address if you can avoid it.
Pay again with Monero when you renew, so the account stays unlinked.
A VPN is not anonymity on its own. Read Tor vs VPN to see what it does and does not hide.

Monereo only links to services; we never hold your funds. Always check a service yourself and start with a small amount.
